Results from today's 5th stage in S. Korea

Will Routley's report

As for racing today, the stage was shortened, because there is breakout of foot and mouth disease in the area in which we are now staying. The highways have disinfecting sprayers going all over the place trying to contain the spread. Sounds like tomorrow will be shortened also, so we should be rested and ready to rip, but it also lets some of the other guys rest a bit too. We'll see.

We have some of the most dificult stages yet to come, so some good opportunities yet. Today was pretty uneventful, there was a short KOM hill sprint and I went for and lost, and lost the jersey, but only by a couple points, so will still look for chances at more points in the coming days. The final was a big fast downhill sprint, no big results for us today. Just rested up and biding our time.
